Important little bug report here: on my second attempt the second boss lost his rocks and the ability to attack, as well as seemingly the ability to die.
I can't stress enough how phenomenal this game is. The mechanics, the graphics, the aesthetic, the creature design... All it's missing is a little radio in the boat to keep the player entertained while they sail to the next location. Do that, fix the minor issues like how you can't really tell how far away your spear is, how the boat doesn't seem to want to let you take control sometimes, or how the boat speeds off in whichever direction you were accelerating last if you don't let it come to a complete stop first and you've got yourself some gold.
I'm having a TERRIBLY FANTASTIC time playing this game! Great work, Steb! I know I'm late to the party, but check out my playthrough! So far I've only beaten the first boss!
I really like the water system, I am a new game developer and I really want to use this system for my dream game. Can you tell me how you did it or at least what game engine you used?
amazing game, figuring out how to drive the boat properly took a few minutes but after beating the first 3 bosses the turtle one my boat would just get stuck and attach itself also u should slow down the speed of the turtle when it gets into its final stage because i would spend atleast 5 minutes just trying to get behind it and then it would kinda just speed off again but otherwise loved the game was amazing 9/10!!!
It was fun and I liked it a lot! My only complaint is that it’s hard to tell if I’m on the helm or not without a indicator. Looking forward to the full release!
Right click on the application, and click show package contents. Then go into Contents, MacOS, and there should be a document file inside. This is meant to a Unix Executable File. Open up terminal and type in chmod +x and drag the document in. If it doesn't let you run the command, type in sudo chmod +x instead. This should change it into a Unix Executable File and then you should be able to run the game.
This game is INCREDIBLE the animations with the ocean and can you add multiplayer cause the bosses are too hard on singleplayer can you also make it playable and for android cause my friend only uses android and he really wants to play this
Great atmosphere, unique gameplay. Pressing shift key while aiming, off-shifted me on boat, so I looked like I was in water but my collider was still in boat.
I was very bad at this and it took my stupid butt over half an hour to figure out how to drive properly, but I enjoyed checking this out! Best of luck with development, very cool idea :D

maybe ue5?
This was made in Unity, water was a shader. I recommend catlikecoding's tutorials on water shaders :)
I really like this game. I can't forget the thrill of catching a lightning shrimp. Thank you for making this game
Fantastic Game and can't wait to play again.
The music is good as hell, mate

Took it away
This game is INCREDIBLE the animations with the ocean and can you add multiplayer cause the bosses are too hard on singleplayer can you also make it playable and for android cause my friend only uses android and he really wants to play this
Why is your game so good!? starts at 7:38
I love This Game!!!
Amazing game! If I could rate it, I’d give it 5/5
Looked exciting, unfortunately not working on macOS. It can't start
you can fix the error by doing these steps
1. right click the "What-Lives-Below-Demo-Mac.app" file
2. click the "Show Package Contents" button
3. open the "Contents" folder then open the "MacOS" folder
4. right click the "What Lives Below Demo" and click the "Copy" button
5. open the terminal app by pressing COMMAND+SPACE and typing terminal.
6. in the terminal type "chmod +x" without the quotes and then press COMMAND+V after pressing space
7. press RETURN (enter). you do not need the terminal anymore so after the command completes you can just close the terminal.
8. double click "What-Lives-Below-Demo-Mac.app". there should be a popup saying that the developer cannot be verified press "Cancel"
9. open the "System Preferences" app and click on "Security and Privacy"
10. navigate to the "General" tab and press the "Open Anyway" button. there should be a popup that says:
"macOS cannot verify the developer of “What-Lives-Below-Demo-Mac.app”. Are you sure you want to open it?"
press the "Open" button and the game should launch. if the game does not launch then you can just double click the game file again.
Hope this helps --Floating Jacob
Gameplay BR
I had no idea this game was so goodi need to finish this game lol
The graphics and the physics are great keep it up
Wow factor! Graphics look better than million dollar budget big company games! One of the best indie games/demos i have played
Great atmosphere, unique gameplay. Pressing shift key while aiming, off-shifted me on boat, so I looked like I was in water but my collider was still in boat.
is there any new progress for the game? the last update for the game was in 2021?
i post occasional updates on my Twitter (https://twitter.com/st3bongo), hopefully i'll be back working on it soon
please do
three platforms supported? which engine are you using?
it's unity
cannot have a romantic relationship with eldrich horrors, game bad
